Authentic Italian Cuisine
A classic checkered-tablecloth Italian restaurant, Calderone Club dishes up mounds of delicious pasta like Mamma used to make. It also makes some of the city's most beloved thin crust pizza.
Our Signatures
Classic, old-school touches shine through this Downtown Italian’s copious menu, including fried eggplant, veal piccata, chicken parmesan and spaghetti and meatballs. Pizza is also a big deal here too. The recipe for Calderone’s pies comes from the Caradaro Club, a pioneer of the Milwaukee thin-crust style.
PIZZA
Our traditional, award winning, Neapolitan thin-crust pizza is from the original Third Ward Caradero Club recipe dating back to 1945.
PASTA
Made fresh every day entirely from imported durum wheat semolina and fresh eggs with only the finest extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy!
SECONDI PIATTI
A Wisconsin supper club tradition – still served with fresh Italian bread, a garden salad and your choice of potato or pasta.
